My group recently started playing Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, our first-ever game in the FFG system. I made a skinny Twi'lek Scoundrel Gunslinger.
It's working out okay, but I also want to try a Jedi in this new system. I'm just a bit worried about survivability as a melee-fighter in a setting where everyone has guns, and lightsaber deflection only reduces damage.
I've been looking the Force and Destiny book over on Scribd, and while I still don't have a perfect grasp of the FFG systems, I'm thinking of going with a Sentinel: Shien Expert. From a roleplaying standpoint the stealthy skill selection makes sense given the period (Emperor having Force-users hunted and suppressed), and the talent tree gives early access to defence abilities.
I'm thinking of getting my XP up to 120 with the whole motivation thing, and:
Human
Brawl 3, Agility 2, Intelligence 2, Cunning 2, Willpower 3, Presence 2.
(60 XP)
Talents: Reflect, Conditoned, Parry, Defensive Training
(25 XP)
Fifteen XP spent on skills.
(15 XP)
The Sense and the Foresee Force Powers.
(20 XP)
Look okay? I do feel the characteristics are rather low, but those are very expensive.
